such excellent material as Is at present
found in Its ranks, and plays the game that
1t did Monday, there Is bound to be a

plays here. dt is to be regretted Tor more
reasons than one that the reorganization
was not had sooner, before several foolish
things we're done that cost the Associa.
tion both money and position. Previous
to the Fourth recent games were such
poor exhibitions that the people did not
care to witness them and the receipts
we're correspondingly bad. The schedule
OF the Ohio League calls for but nineteen
more games here, five having been lost by
reason Of steaubenville dropping out. It

1t is very likely that some special games
with outside clubs may be arranged, but
there are only nineteen that are sure.

August 4, as the Club will be away from

The club was further reorganizsd yestar-
day by Thomas O. Nicholson being made
manager in place OF Mr.. VT. English,
who iound it impossible to attend to bis
other duties and the responsibilities Of the
position Of manager. A few days since
Mr.. Alex Mitchell resigned the office OF
Treasurer. Mr.. English is made Secretary
and Treasurer while Nicholson is made
manager. Everyone knows who Nichol.

and general player, secured when Steu-
benville disbanded. He Is Bellaire man,
one Of excellent habits, with cool head
and good judgment. He ia a hard, con-
scientious worker,an is firm enough 10 see
to 1t that those under him do the proper
thing or else be punished for a neglect to
do it. He will continue to be an active
player. The many friends Of Jack Cropan

Dunn was laid of yesterday for two
weeks without pay on account Of indifier-
ent playing in the morning game on the
Fourth. Much OF Dunn's bad work Of late
is due to the mistaken kindneea Of some
of the directors end others who are inter.

men have tempted Dunn and others Of the
club to forbidden indulgencea, with bad
results, as many know. One director in
